FIFA Soccer 96

FIFA Soccer 96 is a football game developed by Extended Play Productions and published by Electronic Arts, notable as the first FIFA title to feature real-time 3D graphics and real player names. This is the Platinum budget re-release edition, presented under Sony’s standard value re-release programme, covering the UK, France, Germany, and Spain.

The game is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc and no hologram on the case. Language support includes English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs are included, distinguishing this stripped-back Platinum pressing from the original which contained the EA No. 1 Catalogue. As the later of the two PAL variants catalogued for this title, the Platinum edition reflects the sustained commercial appeal of FIFA Soccer 96 warranting a budget re-release across the core Western European markets.
